Hello all!
I have just joined the forum and thought I would pop in to say hello!
My name is Catharine, I am 27 and have been suffering from rather erratic cycles of depression for over 10 years. Just recently i have been feeling particularly down once again- and very lonely, like i have no one to talk to. I thought perhaps by joining a forum i would be able to speak to people who had been through similar experiences and possibly get some advice. And also hopefully be able to offer advice and help to others.
As I say im a bit new to this, and totally hopeless at talking about my depression. But after 10 years I've realised that It's probably a good idea if i do.
I look forward to hearing back from a few of you :)
Catharine. xx

Hi Catherine,
Even though this a depression forums it is a good place to share the good times as well as the bad. With the bad periods you will get support and may be able to help others by sharing. The good times ... well that says it all that it is great to share those as well.

Hi Catherine...pleased you could post. It gets easier with time, as does talking about depression. One thing that really is helping me from the Forum is everyone's honesty about their position. It helps to know that we are not alone. I also find sharing and supporting others helps me through my own erratic cycles of depression. I hope you find the same....WELCOME!

Hi guys! Thank you all so much for the lovely replies. You have all made me feel very welcome 0158
I am thinking of starting a thread in one of the other sections of the forum about things which trigger depression. This is something that I have been thinking about recently whilst trying to figure out my depression and what causes it, if anything, and I thought it might be helpful or informative to hear about other peoples experiences.
Thanks again for the kind replies!

Hello Catherine, it's good to hear from you again. I hope that you are feeling a little better.
That seems like a good idea. From what I've heard, there are many unique factors but a lot of shared ones as well. Best wishes. Michael. :bye:
